This photo was taken at the end of metro terminal, Tajrish, in a sunny Sunday. Tajrish is a neighborhood along the northern edge of Tehran, the capital
of Iran. This neighborhood is one of the oldest parts of Tehran and has
lately become popular for the rich because of the low levels of
pollution created by the area's favorable location along Tehran's northern hills. Tajrish is situated in the Shemiran Township.
I went there with my dear friend, Sifa, who has spent more than two years in the city. She suggested me to go a traditional market located in North Tehran called Tajrish. We need to change two metros starting from Engalob Street to hop off in the end of the metro terminal, called Tajrish. The market was very much busy with local people buying groceries, vegetables, shopping for styles - its also selling cloths, watches, bags and shoes!, and most importantly, things that haunted by tourist like me, souvenirs!! Well, we took a candid pictures but somehow corrupted so i cant display them here.
This is what the market look like...
Look at those happy faces! We talked and laughed a lot during the metro trip :)
And, i tasted another Ash-e Reshteh, a Persian Noodle Soup with some beans, spinach, lentils, beef broths, and persian traditional ingredients like tumeric, salt and something that make it sour. They said is the best Ash in Tajrish and yes, much better than the one in Tochal.
In the end of the market - well actually next to the terminal, i took a picture at
Zahir-ud-Dowleh cemetery, in
Tajrish, where many Iranian giants of art and culture such as
Iraj Mirza,
is buried. -- i need to clarify this information again..
Along the way, Ms. Sifa was kidnapping a cute 9 years old baby girl, Nussa - if i not mistaken. Hehehe, not exactly kidnapping, just chatting and took a picture with her ! Well, it is not our fault because she is so adorable and she was sitting with her grandpapa in front of the bus stop and she just so cute that we can not resist to kiss and take a picture with her. Here's pictures with cute Nussa :
Oh, i missed the photo with the Grandpa :(
Well, Sifa managed to kidnap cute Nussa to SFC, SuperStar Friend Chicken somewhere in Tajrish. We did asked her Grandpa to come along so that we can play with Nussa more, but its too bad she's waiting for her mumy so she can not play with us too long eventhough she was crying when her Grandpa took her
Somehow, we only ate a kids meal in Superstar. I know someone has regretting this because she still starving after took her part (clinging to Sifa). The pack consisted of two chicken strips with friend fries and a cold drink. The waiter asked me : Black or Red ? I thought he was asking me my favorite colors, because he gave me his best smile, i guess ! But then Sifa described whether i would like to have Coca Cola = Black or Fanta = Red. Its funny , though..
In the SFC, i met new friends, Dian and Didi who is coaching badminton for the country. They're a matching couple ! and after SFC, we went to a 'no name' cafe..(i heard someone called it Francois) where they served a very good milkshakes. We arrived in the cafe near Engalob Street, again!, in time for the coffee shop to close. Well, actually they're already closed. But, since we have our persuasive Sifa, she managed to convince the owner to serve us four milkshake to welcome me ! Aaaand, Yes oh Yes ! They made a delicious and great milkshakes ! I never tasted a delicious, rich and extremely soft texture Milkshake in my life before, not in Jakarta or another city that I've visited before. So these are the pictures.. we took with Agha from the coffee shop to make them happy too :) :)
Me and the couple !
the three beautiful Indonesian ladies..
We tried to make the Agha happy by making "snorting" sound when we finished the Milkshake ! Its Milkshakelicious !
So, do you think they are drop-dead gorgeous???
Well, they are ! but i know someone that more drop-dead gorgeous than them. Hush..hush...!!
